I doing a project using a wxWidgets, and we are doing a sample project of copying 1 or many files (if possible) between 2 folders.
I wish that when I choose a folder (using dirdialog or so) and choose the folder, the contents of it shows in a box at the top of the program (Have the image attached)
Our 2 problems are these.
1) I was planning in using a wxBoxSizer or a wxGridSizer. Are they most fitting
The biggest problem though is this:
How can we make the FILES of a folder (for example everything inside the C:) as selectible icons simliar to the Windows Explorer. The DirDialog only gave us the option to choose the folder, but how to get its contents we wish to know.
If it is not possible, then it's a shame but we do wish to implement since, we if possible we'll implement a filter as well (the one on the RHS)
Thanks
Down below is the direct link to how our GUI is currently looking
That blank GREY space should end up where the show file contents should be.

There is no wrapper for SHGetImageList() in wxWidgets currently, which is really the function you should use under Windows.
But you can use wxMimeTypesManager::GetFileTypeFromExtension() and then wxFileType::GetIcon to approximate it -- and this is the best thing you can do for the other platforms anyhow, to the best of my knowledge.

I was given a Drupal project and asked to figure out how its code base structured and how the project is structured overall.
I successfully installed it using xampp.
Now I see nothing custom in the project:
For blocks I have only Bartik and Rubik. For content type only Basic page. For file types Audio, Document, Image and Video. For menus Main Menu, Management, Navigation and User menu.
So, does it mean that I was given a blank empty project? What else may I check that may have been customly changed in an empty project? What may I have missed while installing the project that may cause it to become empty, without any customisations? Maybe it is possible to check for something in the files of the project?
I am asking a few questions here, since I am not sure which one of them will convey the matter which concerns me. But basically all of them mean the same: I just want to see what someone else did in the project. And the more customisations I will find, the better it will be.
Thank you.
This does look like a virgin install typically does. If you were expecting to see more, perhaps you need to import a database...
Confirm you've imported the project database and that your settings file is pointing to it. It looks like you're using Drupal 8, so the file should be in sites/default/settings.php
Check under Content to see if any nodes have been created. If you have some sort of botched import, you can also try accessing a few nodes randomly at example.com/node/1, example.com/node/2 to check directly in case something is wrong with the index
Other than Nodes, Drupal content can be also in the form of Views. These are available at example.com/admin/structure/views. This is usually for heavily customised content. There are roughly 15 default Views that come with Drupal 8.
A default install will have no Modules installed in /modules. If you're seeing any directories there, it could be that the site was relying on these to display the content you're being asked to admin.
Trust this puts you on the right path. :)
I'm aware of the different abilities to highlight based on filetype, but what I'm looking for is something similar to how in a typical text editor you can highlight a line (not just change the color text).
Is this possible to do in the Atom editor? If so, how do you do it? Is there a plugin for this?
The reason I want to do this is for organizational purposes, and sometimes the files I am working in our custom files that are not necessarily code but documentation (usually both are together in the same file), and the documentation part is where I want to add these highlights.
The only Atom package I know of that has a somewhat similar functionality is the bookmarks package.
It is an Atom core package, so you most likely have it installed already.
It might not be exactly what you were looking for, since it only allows setting bookmarks on lines of your open files.
As soon as you close a file, the bookmarks are lost.
But while working on several opened files, it can be very useful to quickly navigate through these bookmarks.
The reason why no package like you asked for exists, probably is that it would be really hard or at least impractical to implement.
Imagine you set dozends of highlights on a file which is under version control (git, svn, etc.) and then pull in a newer version of this file where several lines were added, removed, changed, shifted ...
To still be able to show the highlights on the correct lines, the information of such highlights would need to be under the same version control. Essentially you would need to store this highlight on the line itself, which would mean everybody had the same highlights, which is probably not what you want. Because if you wanted that, you could just format your documentation with markdown or similar in the first place ;)
I write an application, with Qt and it has a pretty big help system, which is including images, tables, links, etc... This help system is stored on a disk in a specific location as simple HTML files, together with the images and using a QWebkit control it's loaded in the application on request, and the user can browse it, etc...
Now, I would like to move away from my "in-house, file based" help solution, meaning: I want a help system which still will use my HTML files, but without the need to ship 100 files to the user, only 1 or 2.
I am aware of Qt's help system ( http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/4.8/qthelp-framework.html ) but I am wondering if there are any other solutions providing the same or similar functionality.
What I am looking for:
take all the HTML files and create one of them, including images
reader possibly embeddable in application, but separate application is good too.
multiplatform
support for context sensitive help (ie: "Click on what's this", help shows relevant page)
For huge help docs the best way is to use Qt Help Framework. For example QAssistant is done in this way.
It mainly consists of several html like files and index files. Then you "compile" them to get a binary(and compressed) version. You can split help in sections and so on...
I am using QWebView to display HTML help files. You get a widget and can integrate it in your application.
Qt have a good easy example here: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Open_Web_Page_in_QWebView
Since it is a widget, you can greate a stand-alone or integrated look and it it very flexible.
The company I work for, we have a number of web systems that are built in Classic ASP and ASP.NET 2.0.
I'm trying to tidy up the scripts folder as they are all sitting in the same place, and I've found some that are not even in use.
So, do any of you know if there is an easy way to generate something like a source code map? So I can easily see which one are not being referenced by any other script to make it easier to clean?
Also if I can generate this map, it would be great to start documenting this. As the previous developer was against documenting (believe it or not), and this is giving me lots of headaches.
Don't know if such tool exists but you could write a script that walks all files and searches in the contents of the sourcefiles if it is being loaded and not commented out (the last being the most difficult).
An easier way that i myself use is to load the different pages that are used in the webapp in Firefox with the Firebug add-on installed and activated (or a equivalent browser with the same functionality or plugin). On the Net tab of Firebug you see all the files that are loaded by a page and you can compare these with the folderstucture and contents.
If many pages need to be checked you can copy all url's with Ctrl-All , Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V it in an editor that is capable of sorting and removing duplicates so that you have a nice list of files being used a,nd can do your folder cleanup in one move.
I have a Flex application that seems larger than it should be. There is a lot of code in it, but not a lot of assets and it just seems large, but I'm not sure how to go about figuring out where the space is going.
I know about the –link-report option, but it only gives the sizes of externally linked library classes. I'm very interested in seeing a report of the sizes of all the classes and resources in my application and it would be a huge bonus if I could also view their dependencies. Not knowing how the code is compiled I'm not sure if this is even possible, but it seems like it should since the compiler can give me the sizes of individual classes linked from other libraries.
I did some searching around, but couldn't find anything helpful. Everything points to the optimization techniques of modularizing and externally linking libraries, which I understand and will implement, but I would really love some more detailed reports of what my compiled application looks like.
To be clear, I'm not really interested in tips on how to reduce the file size, just a report on what is used for and which classes are referencing what.
Anybody have any ideas?
CORRECTION - The link report does show all classes. My particular project in Flex Builder had several CSS files set to compile to swfs. My link report for the main app was being overwritten by these css compiles!
The link report actually contains all compiled classes and not just the ones in external libraries (at least with the Flex 4 SDK). There is an xsl available that will generate an html file of the link report so it is easier to read.
Check this post: http://blog.iconara.net/2007/02/25/visualizing-mxmlcs-link-report/
There is a command-line utility called flash.swf.tools.SwfxPrinter in swfkit.jar, which comes with Flex Builder (or the plug-in or the SDK) and which you can use to analyze information about class sizes. Joe Berkovitz wrote some good instructions on how to make use of it in his blog, and he was working on an AIR-based GUI tool that leverages it, but I'm not sure if he ever published the tool. Still, you can use his instructions to leverage the utility directly from the JAR.
I found a handy little AIR app that really helps organize the link report info.

It's old but still works very well.
